Curtis Page, the father of Bellator fighter Michael “Venom” Page, is going to be on trial for a total of twenty-two sex crimes including the rape of minors as young as eleven years old. According to a report from Bloody Elbow, Curtis is being charged for six rapes, fourteen indecent assaults, and two counts of sex with minors.
Daily Mail UK reports that Curtis was accused of preying on young girls who looked up to him as a father figure. Prosecutor James Thacker said: ‘In the marital arts world he is something of a celebrity. He is well known, he is three times world champion at the sport. He has taught many people who have gone on to be world and European champions. To those people who he didn’t sexually abuse he can do no wrong. The prosecution simply say he has a dual personality.’
Bellator fighter Michael “Venom” Page has impressed every single time he has stepped into the cage, knocking out whoever officials put in front of him. Hopefully, this horrible discovery will not impact his momentum on his way to the top of the Bellator rankings.
